British performance artist Mark McGowan performs his artwork entitled ‘Sausage, Chips and Beans’ at the House Gallery, London in this photo taken November 14, 2003. McGowan intends to spend 100 hours sitting in the bath of baked beans with sausages strapped to his head and two chips stuck up his nose in support of the traditional fried breakfast which he views as an important part of British culture.
Do you think the NEA would give me some money to sit in a bathtub with Egg McMuffins strapped to my head? I mean, I do it anyway. I might as well get paid for it.
Speaking of traditional English breakfasts, I’ve had a nice hearty serving of spam lately. I’ve received emails from Headache G. Ethelred, Dramatist G. Brawlers, Stuffing F. Extinction and Clergywoman V. Sucrose. And my new mortgage broker, who is so fab that he just goes by “Juan,” thought it would make me feel better about trusting my financial future to him if he included this information:
I had to contemplate the math about eating dogs for a long time. Interest rates are lower than they have been in 40 years.
I appreciate that kind of outside-the-box thinking. You’re not going to get a cost/benefit analysis of dog eating from Merrill Lynch, are you?
